'Dang it, Dick...it's too late for the Lambrecht Auction or it would have gone for at least 20 Large.

Seeing those stains on both tires/rims, and up the side of the car tell me one thing-- nice parts car!!!

Maybe put it on a frame from a solid Hawk! There are less of these than Hawks around! That would be a switch! By the way, is it black or Shadowtone red? Rare bird with A/C!Originally posted by StudeDave57 View PostI'd hate to see what the frame looks like- if there is still one under it...

Well...if any of the dozens of phoney reality car themed "Reality-Restoration" shows had any gonads...they would take on a project like this, instead of the ordinary "belly button" (yawn) junk they keep churning out.
Of course, that would involve real sweat, dirt, money, and difficulty. Then, it would also involve a higher level of dialog and conversation that seems to escape most of the existing crews. Most of the Packard and Studebaker parts vendors, I know, would not take kindly to a conversation requiring bleeps every other second.
I would probably follow one of those shows if they would tackle a job like this even if they only showed it as a parallel two season restoration project in bits and pieces as they churn out dozens of the "easy" junk.
A quality build of a car like this would also mean no phoney deadline either. That is about the only way my fertile imagination could justify the expense of restoring a car like this. After the job is complete, then, a charity auction for a future owner.John Clary
